The return of the first daughter

A simple table of wine and food, and a pleasant atmosphere added a lot of fun to this small gathering.

At the same time, it was an extremely laborious task to be left to anyone, but now it was solved smoothly with the cooperation of Mo Li and Zhang Haocheng.

The former four great aristocratic families have basically left behind only a false name. At that time, almost everyone thought that the Zhang family, like the other two, directly invested in Li Qing to protect themselves.But in fact, Mo Li and others can naturally understand that the Zhang family is by no means lost in the true sense like the Zheng family and the Wang family.

Over the past 200 years, no matter when and where, the Zhang family has preserved the integrity of their family and their absolute power as much as possible than any other family.

And it's the same now, they accepted Li Qing's title of marquis, indicating that the Zhang family's position is still willing to serve the court, but they will not completely abandon the glory of the family like Zheng and Wang, and become subordinate to Li Qing. Qing lackeys.

On this point, the head of the Zhang family made it clear before the Zhang family accepted the title of Marquis, but now Li Qing has no absolute strength and is unwilling to make any more troubles, so as long as the Zhang family cannot make such a statement, it is basically impossible. acceptable.

The three kings and the four families have long since left empty shells. The first emperor destroyed the Wang family, forced the Meng family to rebel, and kept marginalizing the Mo family, while Li Qing took over the Zheng and Wang families and cut off most of the branches of the Han family. There is no need to tear up the face with the last Zhang family.

It is also because of this that the situation of the Zhang family is much more favorable than any other family, not to mention that they have never completely tied the whole family to Li Qing, what should be done and who should be in contact with Who else has to interact with, it's nothing more than spending more brains, making all the preparations, whether it's on the bright side or the dark side, so that others can't find a reason to find fault.

Just like the cooperation with Mo Li this time.Although everyone knew that it was better not to mix things up between Mo Li and Li Qing, helping Mo Li would be like dismantling Li Qing, and Li Qing would definitely not be happy about it.

However, this time Moli and the Zhang family cooperated for an absolutely legitimate reason.Even if anyone wants to make trouble, don’t be afraid. After all, what the Zhang family is doing is their own job. Providing military funds to the Qing army is a matter of supporting the imperial court and supporting the emperor. After all, the Qing army was originally designed by the emperor dispatch.

As for Mo Li's decision to use the Beiyang Gold Mine to cover the cost of supplies without authorization, the Zhang family does not need to bear any responsibility or risk. In Mo Li's words, the Zhang family only needs to do business, and even if there are any problems, there is no need. Mo Li shouldered it all.It has nothing to do with the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has provided military funds to the imperial army for 200 years, and all kinds of strange payment methods have appeared before and after.He also had to be dragged to death.

So there is a precedent to ask, the Zhang family is not afraid of anyone making a fuss about this matter, that is, they can sell a favor to Prince Mo's mansion, and at the same time it is profitable, such a thing is not unreasonable.

After everything was negotiated, Zhang Haocheng did not stay for a long time, and the Zhang family's military resources have been shipped in one after another.Many things need to be handled by Zhang Haocheng himself.

And early the next morning, Mo Li finally nodded to meet the local officials and representatives of some famous gentry in Qingyang. After a few days of delay, after completing the most important military layout, there were still some things that had to be done on the scene. .

Han Jiangxue didn't have any interest in these entertainments.Early in the morning, they brought Ziyue Dongling and Beifeng into Qingyang City.

She had discussed with Mo Li first when she went to Qingyang City this time. Although Lao Wu had already returned to Jiang Mazi's side, another matter dug out from Lao Wu's side was not over yet.

"Miss, the tea shop is just ahead. How about I go in and take a look first?" The group of people had already hidden themselves in the dark when they entered the city, and now only Ziyue was beside Han Jiang, and the two walked and strolled. , and soon arrived at the destination.

"No need, let's go in together." Han Jiangxue shook his head slightly, but felt that there was no such need.

Along the way, she and Ziyue have indeed been extremely low-key, just like ordinary women who come out for a stroll, but someone with a little discernment can guess her identity, so since they have already arrived at the door, there is no need to do it again It took all that effort, because she didn't intend to hide her identity then.

Hearing this, Ziyue didn't say much, she nodded to express her understanding, then followed Han Jiangxue, and soon entered the tea shop in front.

Maybe it was too early, or maybe it was because of the war, the business was relatively light. At this time, there were no customers in the simple tea shop, only a waiter who was dozing off by the side of the counter.

"Xiao Er, let me make the best tea in your shop, and some special refreshments!"

Ziyue stepped forward and patted the counter, and suddenly woke up the dozing waiter.

The waiter in the shop was taken aback for a moment, seeing that he was here for business, he immediately resumed his warm welcome, and responded with a smile, and then shouted to the back kitchen: "We are a distinguished guest, a pot of high-quality Longjing tea, special refreshments are ready!"

After taking over the business, the waiter in the shop immediately bowed his waist and led Han Jiangxue and Ziyue to a good seat by the window. The white scarf in his hand wiped the tables and chairs that were already very clean, and greeted them attentively. with.

Now that the world is bad and business is difficult, there are very few customers like Han Jiangxue, so of course the waiter in the shop is good at entertaining.What's more, today's business came just after the store opened, so naturally it has to be more polite.

"Don't worry about this, go and invite your boss here, I have something to ask him!" Han Jiangxue gave instructions to the waiter, but his eyes moved to the street outside the window.

As soon as the waiter heard that the customer was looking for his own boss, he immediately said: "My lady, my boss is not in the shop right now. If you have anything to do, just talk to the little one, and the little one will be sure..."

Before she finished speaking, Han Jiangxue turned her eyes back, looked at the shop waiter and said, "Whether he is in the shop or in the residence on the West Street next door, you just go and find him right away, I have plenty of time to wait." , not afraid of delaying time."

"But ma'am, I really don't know where our boss is!" The waiter couldn't help showing a sad face, he really wasn't pretending, since he came to help the tea shop, he had never seen the mysterious man. The owner of the tea shop, and this tea shop has always been managed by the shopkeeper, so he doesn't bother with those worries, he just takes what he has.

"If you can't find it, won't you ask your shopkeeper to look for it?" Ziyue gave the silly waiter a look, and at the same time threw some broken silver and said: "Hurry up, or I will smash this place!"

People who practice martial arts in Ziyue are naturally ordinary and extraordinary. This is both a threat and a reward. Of course, the waiter in the shop was shocked at once, and he didn't dare to ask more questions. He picked up the broken silver After saying wait a moment, he quickly retreated and ran to the backyard.

Whether it is the information learned in advance or the on-the-spot observation just now, it is enough to prove that the waiter in the shop is indeed just a helper who knows nothing, so Ziyue didn't make things difficult for anyone, and only asked him to go to the shopkeeper.

After a while, the trustworthy shopkeeper in the backyard came quickly. After lifting the curtain and seeing Han Jiangxue, his expression changed immediately, but he stabilized in just a moment.

"Hello madam, I don't know why you are looking for our boss?" The shopkeeper bowed, and said to Han Jiangxue: "Our boss is really not in the shop at this meeting, please forgive me, please talk to the villain first if you have anything to do." But, the villain will definitely tell my boss immediately."

"Since you have recognized my identity, why pretend you don't know?" Han Jiangxue glanced at the shopkeeper: "The dignified descendants of the Jiang family, how could they have poor eyesight? Find Hongxiu here. The purpose of your coming here is not the same. Is it just to wait for me, since I have come to the door on my own initiative, what are you doing in hiding?"

All of a sudden, Han Jiangxue uncovered it all at once, and the shopkeeper couldn't put it on any longer, and then said: "Since Princess Mo came here in person, I naturally dare not wait too long, and I would like to ask Princess Mo to have a cup of tea first, and then I will wait for you." Now go find Hongxiu."

Although the shopkeeper's expression changed, he didn't feel flustered at all. He signaled the waiter to treat him well, but he nodded his head slightly, and went out of the tea shop first, and went to find the red sleeve that Han Jiangxue was talking about in person.

The waiter in the shop seemed to understand something, but he was still confused. He never thought that the woman in front of him was the famous Princess Mo, the eldest lady of the Han family, Han Jiangxue.

It wasn't until Ziyue snorted again that the waiter in the shop came back to his senses, and immediately gave Han Jiangxue a big gift, and then hurried down to serve tea and refreshments.

"Go down and rest first, there should be no other guests coming at this time." After the tea and tea were served, Han Jiangxue didn't make things difficult for the waiter in the shop. Since this person didn't know anything, he simply continued to know nothing. At least it's better for this person.

Seeing this, the shop waiter was considered smart, and immediately thanked Han Jiangxue and withdrew.

"Miss, it's better not to touch the tea and refreshments, the Jiang family is worrying that they won't be able to do anything to you!" Ziyue glanced at the things on the table and said angrily.

"It doesn't matter." Han Jiangxue was not worried that someone would put something dirty in these tea and snacks just now, but he would not be thirsty or hungry, and he didn't move too much.

In less than a cup of tea, the shopkeeper came back, followed by a woman in her thirties. The two looked calm and calm, obviously not too surprised by Han Jiangxue's arrival.
